Effexor Tapering Off and Side Effects

I tapered to 37.5 mg for 4 weeks until I had severe withdrawals. I went back to my original dose of effexor 75 mg xr three weeks ago and physical anxiety symptoms are terrible - shaking, skin crawling, tingling, nerve pain , insomnia, etc. The symptoms seemed to improve after 10 days , ok for 3 and now can’t stop shaking . Unfortunately I don't have a family dr anymore. Has anyone experienced this and did it improve or did you increase or decrease dose?

I just reduced to 10 balls of effexor from 75 mg without any problems other than returning to my grouchy old self like I was before. I went back to 37.5 and after taking it in the a.m. felt much better later that day. Going to see if 37.5 is going to do it for me. I hope your symptoms resolve but do find another doc.
